Chapter 0278: On the Army of Necromancy

Count Edward's choice was right, the enemy was outnumbered, and the number of necromantic golems was enough to encircle on all sides, and his own desire to defend the two-kilometer-long city wall was tantamount to a fool's dream.

Fortunately, this ancient fort was built according to the pattern of the inner and outer forts, and the inner fort also has walls, and it is thicker and taller, but the length is only about 400 meters, which is just enough to defend tightly.

After the people retreated to the inner fort, they immediately dispersed, and more than eighty people could just occupy all the battlements, and they were only five meters apart from each other.

Count Edward said to Arka and Mark: "Just ask the two of you to patrol the city, and support them wherever there is a risk of being breached." ”

Renard volunteered: "I'm a beginner-level Dou Qi martial artist, and I can also help." ”

Count Edward looked him up and down, then nodded and said, "Well, it's going to be troublesome for the three of you." ”

After the order was given, everyone went about their duties and waited for the necromantic puppet to come.

It was not the first time that Lei Ye had been on the battlefield, and he was very calm, while Oro seemed a little restless, and kept muttering words like the blessing of the goddess of wealth.

Renard took a deep breath and reminded, "Fatty, tell you something, the first to die on the battlefield is always afraid of death. ”

When the fat man heard this, he immediately straightened his waist: "Who said that I was afraid of death, who said it, Lao Tzu swore to fight to the death with the necromancer, and no one should stop me." ”

After he said this, he couldn't help but crane his neck and look around, as if he was afraid of being heard.

Renard was speechless: "Don't worry, no one is stopping you, even if you jump down now and have a life-and-death battle with the necromantic puppet, we will only stand at the head of the city and cheer for you." ”

When Lei Ye made fun of the fat man, dense small black dots suddenly drilled out on the outer city wall, and by the moonlight, it could be seen that it was a scarecrow puppet who had climbed the city wall.

Although they were extremely stiff, they did not move slowly, jumping directly over the city walls and jumping towards the inner fort, each jump could jump up to three meters high, and then land ten meters away.

Everyone only felt cold all over their bodies, Ford wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "What a terrifying jumping power." ”

The walls of the inner fort are only twelve meters, and in this way, you can easily kick up the city with only three or four jumps.

As they spoke, the scarecrows had already arrived at the inner castle, some of them covered in blood, and it seemed that some unlucky fellows had met this army of necromancy and had fallen victim to it.

The scarecrow puppet surrounded the castle tightly, but did not immediately attack, as if waiting for something.

The ensuing scene made Renard's pupils shrink suddenly, and he saw that the gate of the outer fortress in the distance was slowly opened, and dozens of knights swarmed in under the light of the strange moonlight.

They marched silently, without making any sound, and without being able to make a sound.

Because these knights had no heads on their necks at all, and the severed necks were only black gas, and the heads were all hanging from their waists, and their eyes were still rolling, and they looked at the things around them with bloodthirsty eyes.

The tall black war horse was draped in rusted iron armor, and its body was swirled with a solid death, and its scarlet eyes were like those of a hungry wolf.

The moment everyone saw these knights, the same word came to their minds - the headless horseman.

The Headless Horseman is also a necromantic puppet, but the refining method is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than that of a scarecrow.

The scarecrow puppet only allows the resentful spirit to attach itself to the scarecrow to control the entire body, while the headless horseman is refined from a living person, and the strength of the person being refined cannot be too low, at least a fighting warrior.

The necromancer grabs the vindictive warrior and brutally tortures and ravages him until the opponent's will breaks.

Then use the evil dark magic to twist their souls, make them kill all their relatives and friends, and finally cut off their own heads, only then can they be considered successful.

And this is only the most basic level of the Headless Horseman, if they want to become stronger, they must constantly torture the souls of the Headless Horseman, and make them keep killing, drinking the blood of the slain.

The soul of the Headless Horsemann will permanently sink beyond transcendence, living forever in extreme pain and bloodshed.

Forty-six Headless Horsemen represent the lives of forty-six Fighting Warriors and many innocent victims.

Count Edward's fist slammed into the battlement, and he shouted, "Unforgivable." ”

The veins on his forehead bulged, and it was obvious that he was angry to the extreme.

But that wasn't the end of it, when a sharp-eyed guard suddenly noticed the movement of the sky, pointed to the moon with a frightened face, and shouted, "Look! What is that?"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, only to see two huge bats suddenly streak across the night sky, and under the scarlet moonlight, they looked extremely strange.

Renard exclaimed, "Gargoyle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the immobile army of scarecrows suddenly began to approach the castle.

Count Edward said in a deep voice, "The necromancer's puppet army has been assembled and is ready for battle. ”

With that, he took the lead in bending his bow and arrows, and the sharp arrows made a piercing sound of breaking wind, and nailed directly to the head of a certain scarecrow, and the scarecrow fell in response, and there was faint blood flowing from the arrow in his forehead.

He then fired two more arrows, which hit the scarecrow's head, greatly boosting the morale of the defenders.

Everyone began to shoot aim, and the scarecrow fell to the ground.

The guards of the castle were all high-ranking warriors, and Count Edward was also keen on training, so everyone had good shooting skills, and more than 200 scarecrow puppets were killed in just a few waves of arrows.

However, before the crowd could cheer, a terrifying image appeared that made them frightened.

The more than 200 scarecrows that had just been knocked down slowly stood up again, and then continued to approach the castle.

Count Edward looked shocked: "How is this possible?"

Before he could think about the reason, he saw three sharp arrows shoot out like cannons, hitting three scarecrows, but this time not the head, but the heart.

Renard frowned and put down the enchanted crossbow, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said: "The energy core of the scarecrow puppet is located in the heart, which is closest to the limbs, and can play a good role in manipulation. ”

As he said, the three scarecrow golems fell to the ground and never got up again.

Suddenly, the crowd began to shoot at the heart of the scarecrow.

However, not everyone has the skill to penetrate the Yang at all times, at least among these guards, only a handful of them can achieve a shooting percentage of 30 percent.

Therefore, within ten minutes of the first start of the battle, it directly entered the white-hot state of face-to-face hand-to-hand combat.
